ASL 101: American Sign Language I

5 Cr
Quarters: F, W, S
The course will develop the language skills necessary for functional proficiency and creative use of American Sign Language. Using a communicative, interactive, and task-based approach, the student will explore the language, people, and culture of the Deaf. This course will enable the students to participate in short conversations and use limited memorized material. Basic vocabulary, sign formation, and grammatical structures will be covered. The emphasis, however, will be on active expressive and receptive communication in ASL.
